Very well decorated place. Nice atmosphere. Small dining room and a nice patio, but a little bit cold this time of the year. Nice waitress with a very attentive attitude. Very good food. Excellent fried Thai rice. The kitchen was finishing some plates not in the right order. It didn’t bother us but some people don’t like to see that.

First time coming to this restaurant. It’s a small restaurant close to pacific beach, San Diego CA 5 minutes drive.The restaurant itself clean and very oriented. Like I’m at Thailand. Love the food it reminds me of Indo Javanese food have a little bit sweet yet spicy. We’ll definitely coming back here.

Stumbled upon this place on a walk and figured I’d give it a chance. It is quaint and beautifully designed. I feel like I’m in Thailand. The dishes my fiancé and I ordered was beyond delicious. Best Thai food in San Diego and vegan friendly! Food is affordable and very good, will be coming here more often!

Really yummy pad Thai and drunken noodles. The food was quick to come out and great service for only having one server too! Only down fall for me personally was some of the classic apps I look for weren’t on the menu like fresh rolls and the crab Rangoon’s.

Very good food at a good price. I didn’t take any pictures unfortunately but it looked very appetizing, and the taste was just as great as the appearance. A friend and I went to this restaurant, we had Tom Kha, Pad Krapao Muu (Pork), Pad Thai Gai (Chicken), I got a sweet Thai Tea and we got an order of Mango Sticky Rice. All of these dishes were very good. Having lived in Thailand a majority of last year, I am pretty well versed with thai cuisine and this certainly took me back to my time there so in my opinion, if you are looking for a good thai restaurant…..this would be a good choice. The staff was very friendly and hospitable. Mim was the person who greeted us and who we had the pleasure of speaking to for all of our needs today, she was very friendly, attentive and provided service with a friendly thai smile.

Nice cozy and friendly spot, very friendly staff, but, it ended there, I ordered yellow curry pork dish, first there was hardly any pork, and whatever there was , was very dry, and I mean dry, for $16.71 it was not worth it, it will be a very long time before I go back!
